Starter Kit: Branding For Streetwear
How you brand is one of the most important things to get right when creating a streetwear brand. Branding is about communicating to your customers what you are about (visually and tangibly through your collection/product), the story you want to tell, and the vibe or aesthetic you want to convey. Moreover, it’s an invitation to participate or buy into what you’re creating. Branding can impact your logo, the narrative of a collection, the design of your social media assets, etc., and usually is the first step towards establishing your brand apart in the streetwear industry.
The streetwear industry is one of the most lucrative industries in the world. But the amount of competition can be challenging. However, the right branding helps your brand stand out and make a statement.
